By now Cross was hopping from one foot to the other ,much resembling someone whose place was in a mental asylum’‘Can’t you pick them off faster ,we haven’t got all day you know ‘’ she uttered glancing at the time ‘’Jasper put down one of the force field so I may enter and help ‘’ she grabbed a pair of multi-pair clippers to cut the entwined vines.

‘’At least a certain Captain had Tribbles fall on him,they made good pets though bred like rabbits!’’ she then imagined Glen and Kord stroking them and couldn’t stop laughing.

”..Are you sure thats safe?” The NE asked about picking his ‘clothes’ off.

Cross started on the wrapped vines ‘’Well if he is still alive with in his birthday suit we’ll know’’ she replied.

“Well, goo’ness gracious, there’s nahwt an apple that there ay didn’t pik off myself that there wasn’t safe, ay say!” added George.

She did her best to keep a straight face ‘’Anyone for apple crumble pie?’’ the doctor asked in a humorous tone,though still attentive not to cut off more then the vines.

Jasper thought the comment amusing but kept a straight face just the same as he continued his scans to see if it was indeed safe for such activity or was it truly dangerous? As he looked over the recent readings. “You know this type of scanning is technically out of my area of expertise? But I am doing my bet in the situation i am given. But I am an Engineer, and not a doctor or a specialist?” Jasper said casually.

Both the crewman and Cross were working their way at super speed,once the fruit and much of the vines were off the doctor started tearing at his clothes until he had none on.

‘’Jasper I’m a doctor and have never had any lessons on how to pick fruit off a man’’ she replied ‘’Now could someone bring something ,anything for him to wrap around his body?’’ Cross asked.

Oh the shame of it all!.

And if that was not enough it started raining fish while Cross jaw fell open ‘’Someone has a magic wand and decided to have some fun at our expense …it seems’‘.

The doctor looked over at Jasper ‘’Can’t you do something like contain it within the force field ,erect half a dozen if necessary’’ she practically bellowed ,not that she knew much about force fields and engineering.

‘’Jasper’’ Cross said as an after thought ‘’Do please inform Bridge what is happening down here ‘’ the doctor had no idea that the Captain and Kord were not present for the time being but someone still had to be in charge.

“Yes Doctor!” As Jasper responded to her request. As Jasper activated the corresponding forcefields as the areas started to fill with fish as he beamed the areas affected with filling fish to the replicators for recycling. to keep the levels low in the container in the affected zones. As he tapped a few keys on the console to inform the bridge of the situation. =/\= Engineering to bridge. We have a serious situation down here and I know it might sound strange or odd. But we’re having freshly picked fruit off of a uniform and its now raining fish here presently. Please advise? =/\= Jasper said as he continued to collect data and sent it to the science section for a more in-depth analysis. Jasper knew this sounded crazy and he was waiting for an order to follow up his inquiry with a visit to the counselor. As he left the channel open as he did what he could from keeping other from falling into the same fates as the other officers.

As the group watched suddenly the flopping tuna fish struggling to breathe in the air without water turned into fried tuna fish in butter served in a slowly spreading pool of smoked almond romesco sauce!!

Cross watched the fish turn to tuna ‘’Hungry as you might be ‘’ she said wondering whether she was hallucination ‘’No one dare touch them or worst eat them ,not even a lick’’ the CMO tried her best to mean she meant business and no but’s or if’s.

Where is the darn counsellor when you need one!.

“Oh, doc come on! That’s not fair!! It really smells amazing? I wonder if Squire Trelane is involved in this entertainment? ” Jasper asked with a bit of wonder and now starving at all the fish buffet. all you can eat…He thought to himself. As he continued his observations.

“Ahh yes! We done heard all about that there rogue planet of Gothos at the Academy,” said George. “Ayn’ that there Squire Trelane.”

Tinga’s antennae twitched in a manner that indicate amusement.

=^=Thank you. I just had to be certain.=^= she said, =^=The CSO is analyzing the situation now.=^=

-George, Eng

=/\= Thank you engineering out! =/\= as jasper closed the channel. “no offense Squire Trelane. ” he said softly to himself as he continued the readings to science. As he tried to keep an eye out of more surprises.

Scans showed the tuna with sauce was quite edible and real, wherever or however it came to be it was sitting now on the dirty engineering room floor wasting away......

Jasper started to beam the tuna to the replicator systems for recycling. “Maybe I should get a plate in there if its still raining fish.” Jasper commented grabbing a massive platter from the replicator to set inside the zone to catch fish. “Jasper shook his head hard. “this is weird but mom and the others would never believe it.” as he recorded the whole issues from the beginning till now as he can show later to others in the science department and others to see.

Down in the Galley on Deck 4, someone would notice the Captain’s Chef in tears. He could have fed Tuna steak to all the officers for several weeks on that fish, if only they had frozen it instead of recycling it as replicator feedstock.

-NE, Gordon Ramsey, Chef

Occ: if you read my post he beamed the fish that was on the floor to the recycler and he got a massive platter to catch the fresh fish that was filling the void.

Jasper was wondering if this problem might be technical then more mystical or alien in nature as he started system checks on replicator and holodeck systems along with ship-wide holo emitters. It could be happening elsewhere on the ship too. Jasper thought casually as he started to check any relevant systems that could cause a strange occurrence like this even the absurd ones.
